A Putnam man was arrested and a cache of narcotics was confiscated when narcotics investigators, Putnam police and state troopers raided a home on Corbin Street Thursday night.

The raid followed a lengthy investigation by detectives from the Statewide Narcotics Task Force, assisted by members of the Troop D Quality of Life Task Force, into allegations that marijuana and heroin were being sold from the residence at 19 Corbin Street.

As a result of the investigation, detectives from the Statewide Narcotics Task Force obtained a search and seizure warrant for the home, according to Lt. J. Paul Vance, state police spokesman.

During the raid, police seized approximately 2.3 pounds of marijuana, 15 grams of heroin, all prepared for sale; Oxycodone Hydrochloride pills, along with packaging material, scales and other drug paraphernalia. In addition, police confiscated $2,100 in cash and a .22-caliber Ruger rifle.

The resident of the home, Julio Echevarria, 32, was taken into custody and was charged with possession of narcotics, possession of narcotics with intent to sell, possession of more than 4 ounces of marijuana, possession of marijuana with intent to sell, risk of injury to a minor and criminal possession of a firearm.

Police said the risk of injury charge was lodged after a 16-year-old youth was found in the residence at the time of the raid. He was placed in the custody of the Department of Children and Families.

Echevarria was held overnight on a $75,000 cash bond and was presented on the charges Friday in Danielson Superior Court, where his case was continued.
